Quote from @Guillermo Perez: Does anyone have experience with seller finance?

@James Calvert there is conventional financing that allows you to use renovations to make the property livable, just as you would with an FHA 203k loan.

Also, consider working with lenders who specialize in multifamily financing to ensure you're prepared when a deal comes up.If you need financing options or guidance on structuring a multifamily deal, let me know.

Maybe there's an angle for seller financing or some other creative approach to get the seller the total return they want over time, but it's hard to say without actual facts and data.

Still, we've re-opened our VRBO listing and have just started a listing with Mini Stays to see how they perform. 

What would be my best route to take if we need additional finances?

And could even get a second home loan if doing traditional financing.

I found some articles and old forum posts on BP last night that discussed problems with financing and insurance for this arrangement. 

Very excited about how well they are doing.. they are not holding but I am helping them make 250 to 400k in cash a year or more by financing thier deals for them.

Hello I found a property that needs 100k in repairs and was wondering if I could get a loan for an uninhabitable house or should I do sellers financing and finance the repairs?
